The building, I think between Fannin and Main, just south of Buffalo Bayou. What the heck is it, who lives in it, and why is it still there?

Are you talking about that little trailer house downtown? Always wondered about that

Yep - No telling how many people have been killed inside there. Hard to believe it's right next to the police station, the jail, and the courthouse.

Can't figure out how to edit posts - I was referring to the International Coffee Building. A lot of articles on renovation - but nothing actually done yet? Sounds like a typical boondoggle, like the pedestrian bridge over the San Jacinto River in Humble, or the magic dinosaur park in New Caney.

Forget the one across from Cedar Creek. There's one in the heart of the Heights at 11th & Yale.

the coffee building is currently being renovated, activity there for quite awhile. It will have some sort of food & beverages, canoe/kayak rental, historical signs, etc. It has sorely needed repairs and hopefully will be a bit of a picnic area as well.

Howard Hughes' grave.

That weird purple tree/plant thing at the intersection of 610 South and I-10 East

more interesting to me is this bldg., overlooking White Oak Bayou just at the intersection with Buffalo Bayou. This should have commercial potential.
I've also thought the building at San Jacinto on the south side of the bayou has great potential (under Action Bail Bonds). It DROPS about 4-5 stories from street level down to the bayou. You could have bars/restaurants literally over the water.
Here's the first bldg.:

There is no such intersection

There is the west loop and I-10 or the East loop and I-10, but no South Loop and 10

Hughes' grave is in Glenwood Cemetery (discrimination forced some to be buried next door at Washington Cemetery)
The colorful trees were done for years by a local artist who recently died. He put them all over.

That building won't be there much longer if HCFCD gets their way.

Flood Control District is planning on building what they're calling a North Canal which lops off this loop in Buffalo Bayou just north of Downtown.

http://www.hcfcd.org/downloads/reports/2014CIPReport.pdf

Roughly draw a line from UH-Downtown to the red part on McKee Street.

I don't know the specifics but it will leave the Sheriff's Office and Jail on an island between the bayous.

I'll even go one further....there WAS one in the heart of downtown. However with the recent restructuring I guess they offered the owners an offer they couldn't refuse

I think what we need to uncover is why people lick that dude's butthole over his music. It's pretty crappy.

I nailed one of those Peacocks right after I moved to the area. Car in front of me swerved into the other lane and I didn't have time to stop or swerve. Popped it good, but it ran away. When I pulled up next to the other car at the light, he was yelling at me and flipping me off like I killed Santa. I shrugged and waved at him.
